Mustangs finish with 7 medals

The Madisonville Mustangs traveled to Waller Thursday, Feb. 9 to compete in the Waller Powerlifting Invitational. The Mustangs finished the competition with seven lifters medaling.

“Madisonville has been competing in Waller for years and the level of competition always raises the bar for our athletes to compete at a high level,” said Head Coach Lu Olvera. “I thought the guys attacked the weights and gained confidence with every squat, bench and deadlift.”

“There’s no doubt that our boys left everything they had on the platform for their nine lifts throughout the evening,” Olvera said. “Each young man increased their total weight from their previous competition.”

The Mustangs will return to competition Saturday on the road in Normangee.
